Wrap Her in Nature This Mother’s Day: New Arrivals from Ashculme Textiles
There’s something incredibly meaningful about giving a gift that’s been made slowly, thoughtfully, and with love. This Mother’s Day, we’re proud to introduce a beautiful new collection from Ashculme Textiles—a series of handwoven scarves, cowls, coasters and ponchos crafted with care and rooted in nature. It’s the perfect way to wrap Mum in something truly special.
Each piece is made from a luxurious blend of merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas, giving these textiles their signature softness, warmth, and gentle texture. If you’ve ever run your hands over alpaca wool, you’ll know just how silky and light it feels, while still offering incredible warmth. Paired with the natural resilience of merino, it’s a match made in fibre heaven.
But what makes these pieces even more special is how they’re dyed using plants foraged by the artist herself. From eucalyptus leaves to local bark and blossoms, nature lends its palette to every thread—resulting in colours that are earthy, delicate, and impossible to replicate in a factory. These tones don’t just look beautiful—they tell a story.
This new release includes:
-
Handwoven scarves and ponchos in rose, blush, indigo, and soft charcoal—perfect for layering through autumn and winter.
-
Cowls with soft drape and breathable warmth, ideal for everyday wear.
-
Coaster sets in a rainbow of nature-dyed hues—charming, practical, and the perfect addition to any morning tea ritual.
Each item is made slowly and lovingly on traditional looms by fibre artist Fiona Durman, whose alpacas roam the lush green hills of her property in regional NSW. These pieces aren’t just beautiful—they’re a connection to land, craft, and care.
So, if you’re looking for something truly thoughtful this Mother’s Day—something made with heart—look no further. Whether she’s a tea-lover, a homebody, a nature-walker, or someone who just appreciates beautiful things, a gift from Ashculme Textiles will make her feel warm, wrapped up, and completely cherished.
